Dovekie is a Bolger design, basically the ultimate shallow water camp boat.
She drafts 6 inches at rest.
She is a leeboard boat with a bow centerboard.
This boat comes with the factory rudder mount motor mount. I find it useless, and consider this boat "motorless", which was Phil Bolger's plan anyway. That works fine for me.
She's a veteran of the TX200, ready to sail today. Good condition, see pics.
Hull has some scratches as expected for a boat that gets used.
Bimini/tent is like new.
Canvas dodger and cover are both very worn, barely usable. Should be easy and reasonably inexpensive to copy.
Sail is crisp in some parts, and worn in others, I guess from storage.
It has an added 3rd reef, including a failure that s repaired. Totally usable, but not new at all.
She sails very well, especially on the wind, see this video Dovekie 21 "Quetzal" on the Texas 200.
Local-ish potential buyers are encouraged to contact seller to arrange a sail. Please email me with questions.
Location of boat, only nearest town, state Galveston, TX
